Machine translation from English source The foreman must emphasize to his team the need for appropriate clothing and equipment to meet the demands of the work situation. In particular, the following must be observed: SAFETY HELMETS should be worn whenever there is a potential for head injury in a work environment, such as HOLD CLEANING, ENGINE ROOM (where appropriate)/PUMP ROOM repair/maintenance, working/inspecting in void spaces, on piers, on deck. SAFETY HARNESSES must be used any time work is carried out at height, outside the vessel or when it is necessary to work 2 meters above the deck anywhere on the vessel. “SANDALS” should “never” be worn on the outside deck or in the engine room. Any person wearing them appearing on duty must be instructed to return wearing suitable footwear/boots. If done repeatedly, it will be logged. All persons (tanker crews) exposed to high levels of noise, for example in machinery spaces, should wear hearing protection of the type recommended for the particular circumstances. Overall, headphones provide a more effective form of hearing protection. Safety glasses such as safety glasses, etc. should be used when working to prevent the main causes of eye damage, namely: a) infrared rays - gas welding; (b) ultraviolet rays - electric welding; c) exposure to chemicals; (d) Exposure to particles and foreign bodies. During emergency drills, all personnel on board must be properly dressed. Sandals, shorts, and short-sleeved shirts are not appropriate clothing for dealing with an emergency, and the danger of burns to exposed skin cannot be overstated. A boiler suit usually provides a good measure of protection. WORK CLOTHING (tanker crewing) Crew should be aware that many accidents and injuries can be avoided by wearing suitable work clothing. Particular attention should be paid to the following: Loose clothing is not worn when working on or near equipment. Long hair should be machine-made. be securely fastened to prevent tangling when moving Safety boots/boots and gloves must be used. Personal jewelry such as large rings, neck or hand chains, etc. are prohibited.
